Cannes’ top prizewinners “The White Ribbon” and “A Prophet,” as well as Peru’s Golden Bear winner, “The Milk of Sorrow,” are among the nine films chosen to advance in the foreign-language film Oscar race.

The Secret in Their Eyes” (Argentina), “Samson and Delilah” (Australia), “The World Is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner” (Bulgaria), “Ajami” (Israel), “Kelin” (Kazakhstan) and “Winter in Wartime” (the Netherlands) round out the shortlist culled from the 65 films deemed eligible by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

Neither Bulgaria nor Peru has ever seen one of its submissions nominated for the foreign-lingo Oscar. Kazakhstan received its first Oscar nomination for 2007’s “Mongol.”

Germany’s “White Ribbon” took the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes, and it earned the Golden Globe on Sunday for foreign-language film. Gallic contender “A Prophet” won the Grand Prix also at last year’s Cannes.
